THREE 800 KVA DIESEL GENSETS

JUBAILI BROS - KUWAIT has provided three JP 800kVA synchronized generating sets for delivery and installation at one of the Kuwait Oil Company’s exploration sites.

The 800kVA silenced generators have been built to exacting specifications to ensure industry-leading performance. Designed primarily for the rental market, they are tough and ultra-reliable, says the manufacturer. Fitted with Deep Sea control panels, the gensets offer a wide range of settings to suit all applications. They are simple to use and integrate all the features which customers require, says the company.

The sets feature hot-dip galvanised sound-attenuated enclosures, with sound-reducing abilities such as average 70 dBA @ 7 metres.

The gensets also have powder-coated grey-white 7035 surfacing (the enclosure shield is painted by electrostatic polyester powder paint - IP23 Protection class), forklift pockets complete with rubber bumpers, plus a 4-pole circuit breaker with variable earth leakage protection and on/off switch.

Quality componentry included in the genset manufacture includes a Deep Sea 8610 loadshare synch control panel, a battery isolator, a 1,300-litre bunded base fuel tank with three-way valve, CT for genset paralleling, a battery charger, plastic-coated locks and handles, a lockable canopy with common single key and a Cummins water separator filter. A sump oil vac pump is supplied along with an oil pressure sensor, along with a water temperature sensor, and a central lift point. The set is hardwired via copper busbar and features microswitch protection and comes with a motorised MCCB and Racor filter.

Considering synchonisation in the generators

The genset synchronisation is fully automatic. After synchronization, the load is automatically shared and controlled according to the set proportion, increase or decrease output, add new units or stop online generating units parameters.

Equipped with a Deep Sea 8610 each set, the synchronising and load sharing control module is said to provide the user with complete and reliable protection against various gensets defaults, such as reverse power, over current, overload etc.

The DSE8610 is an effective intelligent mono display auto start load share control module packed with industry leading features to enhance multi-set control.

The module can be synchronised with up to 32 generators within the same system.

About the genset client and user

The customer - the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) - is headquartered in Al Ahmadi - Kuwait and is a subsidiary of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, a government-owned holding company.

Kuwait is currently the world’s 10th largest petroleum and other liquids producer iand fifth-largest exporter in terms of volume of crude oil and condensates.

KOC is considered the backbone of the economic and social development for the State of Kuwait. KOC ’operations and activities of exploring and producing oil make up nearly 90% of the national budget, which is still highly dependent on oil in its resources. www.jubailibros.com www.deepseaelectronics.com

KOC announced four discoveries in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, two in the Cretaceous layer in Lower Burgan in Bahrah Field, the other two in the Jurassic layer located in Lower Marrat in Kahlolah Field, and Gotnia Anhydrite in Sabriyah Field.

Furthermore, KOC recently signed an offshore drilling contract to further explore Kuwait’s waters.
